Import Tips & Compliance

Document gutting and smoking process to confirm not 'fillets' under 0305.19; photos help customs

Check for MSC sustainability certification; common issue is weight declaration including ice glaze

Avoid declaring as 'salted' if only smoked—dual processes may shift to 0305.41
